Jamaica Family Vacation

Family Friendly Hotels & Fun Things To Do In Jamaica With Kids

Fun, sun and sand are all part of your next Jamaica family vacation. There are lots of fun things to do in Jamaica for kids of all ages. Babies and toddlers will love splashing in the ocean, children will enjoy climbing up the waterfalls and teenagers can't resist the rhythmic reggae music.

The lush countryside will provide you with many family friendly activities like zip lining, river rafting and even bob sledding! Jamaica is not just beautiful beaches-take this opportunity to teach your children about the unique Jamaican culture. If you are traveling to Jamaica with a baby or toddler you will be able to buy diapers in the grocery stores in town. They are harder to find in the resort areas. They are generally more expensive than back home though! The pavements are in a state of disrepair so strollers are not very useful (though a lightweight stroller may be handy around the resort). A baby knapsack or carrier will be ideal for when you are exploring on your Jamaica family vacation.

Eating the tasty food will be a highlight of your family travel to Jamaica with kids. Children usually enjoy the flaky Jamaican patties and fresh fruits! Check out these yummy Jamaican food for kids.

***Don't forget to get your children the Jamaica Fly It Quiet Activity Pack so they can learn about the food, music, culture and language through fun coloring pages, quizzes, mazes and more. Great entertainment for your plane ride to Jamaica with kids.

Here is a fun video for the kids to introduce them to Jamaica!
